Nothing I suppose, but I have some reservations about how charismatic and fun people are more likely to cajole en masse. Have you ever heard of selling ice to eskimos. Well, that's the sense I'm getting from this. Sure, freedom ring and all is fair, but a lot of these actors are really popular. Six of these actors made several billion dollar movies. You have to admit their star power is over reaching in ways where it's sort of scary. Even a little bit?

Not even a little bit.
This basically makes it sound like you think people are being "tricked" to this website and then being "brainwashed" by how charismatic and fun they are.

I'm guessing you run with a very smart crowd. As for me, I run a gamet of differing level of intellect. While I admit that most I know will see behind this ad's opaque veil, there are some who are nothing but hook, line and sinker for this stuff. I guess I'm just trying to elude to a more extreme example of charismatic figures that have pull in the world. You know, your hitlers and stalins and husseins. And no, most of these actors don't have the same pull as those people, but just the same it's the same tactic. Perhaps I was just trying to instill a sense of caution to how far charismatic people can lead others to a specific goal, e.i. the presidency. If you can't see a little threat in that, well I hope for the best.
